Unocal 76 World Pit Crew Competition
- Unocal 76 World Pit Crew Competition
The Unocal 76 World Pit Crew Competition was a NASCAR-sanctioned event for its Winston Cup Series pit crews. The competition was sponsored by Conoco Phillips, through its Union 76 gasoline brand (which at the time was the official fuel of NASCAR).
The competition was conducted during the weekend of the fall race at Rockingham, and was only open to a select few teams. The teams competed against each other for time. Each team had to complete a full pit stop (tire change, fuel), and had to complete it clean for their time to stand. Time penalties, usually five seconds, were added for any violations (i.e., loose lugnuts on wheel) found by the officials. The team with the fastest time after penalties won and was declared the world championship pit crew for the year.
The 2003 Unocal 76 World Pit Crew Competition proved to be the final held under that name and at that time of year, for two reasons. The first was that Unocal was pulling out of NASCAR, replaced by Sunoco as the sport's official fuel. The second was that thanks to schedule realignment and the Ferko lawsuit, Rockingham was to lose its fall race date. The Pit Crew Competition was renamed the Pit Crew Challenge and moved to the weekend of the Nextel All-Star Challenge at Charlotte, where it remains to this day.
